On Windows, you
can perform a response file installation of a DB2® product on a single machine or on multiple
machines. A response file installation might also be referred to as
a silent installation or an unattended installation.

Before you begin the installation, ensure that:
- Your system meets all of the memory, hardware, and software requirements
to install your DB2 product.
- You have all of the required user accounts to perform the installation.
- Ensure all DB2 processes
are stopped.

- Modifying a sample response file. Sample response files are located
in (db2\Windows\samples).
- Using the DB2 Setup wizard
to generate a response file.
